When bankers get together for dinner, they discuss Art. When artists get together for dinner, they discuss Money. – Oscar Wilde I have yet to meet an artist that doesn’t feel the need to do a better job organizing their finances. It’s important to keep track of your income and expenditures so you can identify issues, evaluate your product sales, and get your taxes straight.

1. You never know what's going to be popular, so take all of your work seriously.

2. Art education desperately needs to start taking law and business seriously. It never fails to amaze me that an artist can have a bachelors degree, and still not understand IP law or basic business concepts.
